Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Optional

  • Powdered sugar for dusting or making glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they remain intact.
  2. Preheat and Grease the Donut Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy release of the donuts after baking.
  3. Fill and Bake: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each donut cavity about three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Glaze: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. If desired, prepare a simple powdered sugar glaze or dust the donuts with powdered sugar to finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries to avoid bleeding and watery batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffy donuts.
  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better mixing.
  • Grease the donut pan well to prevent sticking.
  • Check doneness starting at 12 minutes to avoid drying out the donuts.
